A. Agricultural Buildings: In accordance with Idaho Code section 39-4116, agricultural buildings shall be exempt from the requirements of the codes adopted by this chapter, provided they are situated on land actively devoted to agricultural pursuits (as defined by Idaho Code section 63-604) and are, at the time of application, being assessed accordingly.
An "agricultural building" is defined as any structure that is used solely for growing, raising or producing plants, animals or crops.
While exempt from code requirements as specified in Idaho Code section 39-4116, an agricultural exemption permit is still required, and the permit shall be governed by the laws in effect at the time a complete permit application is received.
B. Equipment For Chemical And Mineral Processing And Extraction: Equipment used primarily for industrial chemical process purposes and for mineral extraction and mineral processing shall be exempt from the requirements of this chapter. This exemption does not include the erection and fabrication of new boilers, pressure vessels and other equipment required to condition a building for personnel comfort and safety. "Equipment" in this regard shall mean, and be limited to, facilities or installations for heating, ventilating, air conditioning, refrigerating equipment, elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, and boilers and pressure vessels associated with building heating systems.
